Specialty

Breezer Doppler Pro

This is a great bike for century rides, long commutes, short commutes, and just regular road rides with your friends.

This is a bike designed perfectly for the vast majority of Pacific Northwest riders.

If you can get over your whole “I might need a bike for a triathlon someday” delusion, this is the bike for you. Fenders and cromoly tubing may not be very aerodynamic, but they sure make your bike ride a pleasant experience.

This bike has randoneering frame geometry, meaning that it’s a road bike with touring geometry that has been tweaked just a bit. The bike is comfortable for really long rides, and it will carry all of your gear without becoming too squirrely. The wheels are the 650b size with 47mm wide tires and Breezer has still managed to fit fenders on the bike. The frame is made out of cromoly steel, which delivers a springy, compliant ride quality.

Breezer Radar Pro

Breezer Radar Pro

If you prize versatility over every other design element, this is the bike for you.

Joe Breeze, one of the original mountain bike builders, knows how to design a great bike This one is no exception. Call it a gravel bike or a touring bike. Call it an off-road rig or an urban runabout. Call it your bike.

The Breezer Radar and Radar Pro are the bikes we chose for commuters, adventure-bikers and one-bike-that-must-do-it-all people. The steel frames are light, durable and springy. There are dozens of braze-on attachment points for racks, fenders and bottle cages. The Sram components tolerate being left dirty and/or abused, the hydraulic disc brakes stop you easily with a light touch, and the dirt-drop handlebars are comfortable and versatile.

Wide dirt-drop bars

If you had been considering a Surly Straggler, you may want to reconsider. The Radar Pro is lighter, has just as many attachment points for racks as the Surly, it features a more comfortable (and controllable) upright riding position for gravel or dirt trails, and comes in about $200 less than a similarly spec’d Surly.

Felt Verza Cruz

Felt Verza Cruz

This is a fun bike. A Felt Verza Cruz. It looks like a beach cruiser but it has gears and is much easier to ride.

If the bike looks a little different to you it’s because the Verza Cruz fits you like it’s a cross between a recumbent bike and a regular street bike. The saddle sits back over the rear wheel with the cranks far out front, and when you have the seat at the proper height you can still put your feet flat on the ground when you’re not pedaling.

The idea is similar to what Electra has with their Townie model bikes, but with two very significant differences: Unlike the Electra, if in the future you want your bike to handle more responsively or climb hills more easily, you can change back to to a more traditional frame geometry with a straight seat post. Also, the Felt Verza Cruz costs about $200 less than a similarly equipped Electra.

Classic Eddy Merckx

1988 Eddy Merckx Corsa

Having a classic ride is awesome.
Classic styling, a nostalgic vibe, maybe the chance to have something that you always wanted but didn’t have the money to buy the first time around.
Check out this vintage Eddy Merckx. A Columbus steel Corsa frameset painted in the iconic Faema team colors. It’s from the late ‘80’s, a time when aerodynamic and modern (looking) parts were fitted to bicycle frames that seemed identical to those made in the 1930’s.

This Merckx is outfitted with the Campagnolo’s 2nd tier Croce d ‘Aune group. Named after a mountain pass in the Italian Dolomite mountains where Tulio Campagnolo was inspired to invent the bicycle wheel quick release. It’s a beautiful component Gruppo, and you can’t have it on your bike unless you can pronounce it (say crow-che down).

Croce d’Aune Delta brakes

Croce d’Aune rear derailleur

In 1988 every bike racer out there (except Gavin) loved Campagnolo, or at least loved the way Campagnolo bike parts looked. The “C” Record component group was the top of the line, and the most beautiful and prestigious, but the Croce d’Aune group had some amazing design elements. I loved the Croce rear derailleur and the brake calipers.

The rear derailleur had a different cable attachment than anything else Campagnolo has ever made. The housing stopped on the top of the derailleur and slid across a grooved plate (much like today’s Sram derailleurs). There was a cool looking steel rod on the bottom of the rear derailleur, and to this day we’re not really sure how it helps the derailleur move but it sure looks great.

Cinelli Pinochio stem

Croce d’Aune crankset

San Marco Regal saddle

The brake calipers from this component group are amazing. Just like the Record level “Delta“ brakes these are more style than substance (they don’t stop very well), but they look terrific on any bike. This version has return springs outside of the triangular body instead of having the mechanism stuffed inside. The spring detail looks similar to us to the little rod on the rear derailleur.

By the way, this one is for sale from our museum collection It’s a 56cm bike, good for someone between 5’8” and 5’10” tall. It’s all yours for only $1399.

OM Duro

SE Racing OM Duro

Don’t judge this bike too quickly. It looks a little weird, like maybe a snow bike mated with a BMX bike from 1982. You probably think that it wouldn’t be right for anything except riding wheelies down the block. This bike would surprise you.

The OM Duro comes with 27.5″ plus-sized tires that can handle any terrain from asphalt to powdery sand. The Sram 1 x 11 drivetrain makes most off-road riding fun and easy and the tubular steel BMX cranks are made to handle jumps and general abuse. Unlike an actual BMX bike from 40 years ago this one actually stops thanks to the disc brakes and is actually pretty fast thanks to the big wheels.

To us, the OM seems like the perfect bike to ride over to the I-5 colonnade park in Seattle and goof around. Maybe cruise the Hilltop trail to Battle Point park and ride the new pump track.

Scott E-Sub Evo Electric

Scott E-Sub Evo

Need a little help getting up the hills? Let’s get you a little mechanical assistance.

A Bosch electric motor should do the trick.

This is the Scott E-Sub Evo, the best electric bike design that we have ever seen.
Based upon Scott’s excellent Metrix hybrid models and outfitted with a powerful and reliable Bosch Performance motor system, this bike is an example of design perfection. It rides great and exhibits none of the “quirks” normally associated with E-bikes.

Quirks? It’s probably not polite to highlight the faults of others, but here are some of the things that have always bugged us about electric bikes: Under-powered brakes, low-end external derailleur systems on really expensive bikes, poor weight distribution that makes a bike feel tippy, “suspension” forks that don’t do much except increase the overall heft, clunky add-on systems that look duct-taped onto a standard bike, chargers and batteries that try to set your garage on fire.

We don’t like dealing with stuff that a bike company should address before the bike even goes on the road, so a bike that we can describe as “perfectly designed” is pretty appealing.

Bosch Performance motor

Easy to read console

For those of you who have been spending a lot of time looking for an electric bike, here are the vital statistics: An aluminum hybrid frame designed with a motor in mind (integrated into the frame, not tacked on). Internal wiring for the motor, the lights, the brakes and the shifting. A Bosch Performance motor with a 400 watt/hour battery. Integrated Busch & Muller lights (that are in turn connected to the integrated fenders and rear rack). Shifting courtesy of a reliable (and weather-proof) Shimano Alfine 8-speed hub system. The bike stops safely and reliably by way of Shimano Alfine hydraulic disc brakes with Ice-tech rotors (an important element for a bike that weighs 15 pounds more and can be ridden 15 mph faster than normal).

Busch & Muller 500 lumen front light

Intergrated rear light

Electric bike charge range varies with the weight of the rider and the local topography, but you can expect 75 to 100 miles on the “Eco” assist level and around 25 miles with the motor going full blast in “Turbo” mode on this Scott. The bike can sense the amount of torque that you’re putting on the pedals and it will assist you according to your need (and you can set it to one of four assist levels). The motor will stop helping you when you hit 20 miles per hour, but there’s no rule that says you have to slow down at that point.

Once the battery has been depleted, the charger will fill the lithium Ion battery pack from totally drained back up to full power in about two hours.

Felt Red Baron

Felt Red Baron

Want a stylish bike? Felt has a bunch of cruisers that feature high style above all else.
The bike you see here is their Red Baron 3-speed, a stylish balloon-tire cruiser outfitted with a 3-speed hub for some extra hill climbing capability. The frame and most of the parts on this bike are made from aluminum, so while it looks like a 60 year old Schwinn it doesn’t weigh nearly as much as one.
For more great cruiser options check out bikes like the Bixby, The Float, Claire, Faye, The Speedway, El Nino, Deep Six and Highland Park. These Felt cruiser models all offer great riding fun and great riding style.

American Pickers’ Edition

If you look a little closer you’ll notice that this Red Baron is further customized. It is the Antique Archeology badged bike. If you’ve watched certain programs on the History Channel you’ll easily recognize the Antique Archeology logo. This is Felt’s nod to the bike-crazy guys that star on the American Pickers television show.

Felt Bixby

Bixby beach cruiser bicycle

Beach cruisers don’t have to be heavy and slow.

This is the Bixby beach cruiser from the fine folks at Felt. The swoopy Bixby frame is made from aluminum tubing, not steel, so it’s pretty light. The rims again are made out of aluminum instead of the typical chromed steel found on balloon-tire bike wheels. The Bixby gives you predictable and comfortable cruiser characteristics without feeling like you’re trying to pedal a tractor.
There’s a low step-through frame style and the traditional boys frame style available. Choose single-speed simplicity or get the version with a three-speed hub for hill-climbing options…

Key Lime

Bixby in blue

Tangerine

White

Watermelon

Sour apple green

The Thick Brick model tires usually come in all black or white wall on these bikes, but the come in a variety of different colors if you want your bike to look truly custom.
Color options for the whole bike? Yeah, there’s a couple to choose from… Two or three colors in the traditional frame style and seven or eight options in the low-step through style.

Wooden Balance Bikes

Flames make ‘em faster

Balance bikes are a great alternative to tricycles or little bikes with training wheels.

With these little bikes, your child will learn to ride much more quickly than with training wheels. Junior will be safer too, as steep, off-camber yards and driveways are much less treacherous than with a tippy tricycle.

The Evo scoot bikes are less expensive than similar wooden versions, and yet they still come with pneumatic rubber tires.

Made with heirloom quality construction, these little guys should last through multiple kids.

Sporty blue

Quality construction and details

Wow, those flames just look fast.

The wooden construction is plenty strong, and it’s nice and light. If the bike takes a tumble you won’t have to worry about sharp metal edges scratching furniture, the car, or your little rider.

Ritchey Ascent Breakaway

Ritchey Ascent Breakaway

Most of us have access to a couple of different bikes.

If something horrible were ever to happen to our society (like maybe a zombie apocalypse) and you had to get by with only one bike to ride everywhere, you could hardly pick a better bike than the Ritchey Ascent.

The Ascent is a long-haul touring bike. It’s a gravel adventure bike. With upright handlebars installed it becomes a hybrid city bike. With upright handlebars and fat tires installed it’s a mountain bike. With skinny and smooth tires installed it’s a fast road bike. The Ascent can be configured any way that you can imagine, and since it comes to us as a bare frame and you decide how you want it to turn out, it can be configured to fit just about any budget that you have in mind.

It’s a bit of a puzzle, but it all fits.

All packed up and ready to roll

Did we mention that the Ascent is a travel bike? Yep. It comes apart and fits into a regular-size suitcase. This means that it flies to your ride destination just like regular checked luggage with no exorbitant bicycle surcharge.

Don’t worry. If you happen to have a couple of different bikes at home and want to add the Ascent to your fleet, it doesn’t have to be your only ride.

Ritchey Breakaway Road

Ritchey travel bike

Take the legendary and inspiring handling of a hand-built Ritchey bicycle. Add a revolutionary coupling system that allows you to pack it and travel around the world with ease. The result is the ultimate travel bike: The Ritchey Break-Away. A full size bike in a case that measures a scant 9″ x 26″ x 29″!

The Break-Away bike disassembles and assembles in minutes and comes complete with a travel bag. Ritchey custom steel and carbon fiber tubesets and the patented compression coupling system are the keys to this design. The frame is securely joined at the seatpost in two places and on the downtube. The coupler clamps unobtrusively around small flanges on the downtube. While this system is as secure as systems much larger it adds less than 100 grams.

All packed up and ready to roll

It’s a bit of a puzzle, but it all fits.

Simple seat post clamps hold the frame together

Ritchey Break-Away frames are available in custom heat treated cromoly tubing and carbon fiber. Frame sets are available in road or cyclocross frame styles in a broad range of sizes. Purchase as a complete bike or as a frameset with carbon fork, headset, cable couplers & deluxe travel case.

Fuji Touring

Fuji Touring

Fuji’s touring bike has been the multi-day touring standard for more than 3 decades. If you’re a committed touring cyclist looking for the utmost in comfort and durability, this Fuji is for you.

The steel frame rides great regardless of the amount of weight that is packed onto it. Unloaded, the bike is fun to ride. Loaded, even with front panniers, you can handle it in the most severe cross winds.

Fuji has picked equipment that is reliable, touring tested and simple to repair in even the most out of the way places. The key features of this Fuji are the frameset, which is made of springy, strong, and surprisingly light cromoly tubing (about 2 pounds lighter than Surly’s Long Haul Trucker), the robust traditionally spoked touring wheels (36 spokes laced to Shimano hubs), and the complete Shimano drivetrain utilizing the best elements of road and off-road componentry.

For those of you who want simple and familiar, you’ll appreciate the bar-end shifters and rim brakes. For those of you who want cutting-edge and new (as of 1991) we can substitute integrated brake/shift levers for an additional $100.
By the way, would you believe that this bike will cost you less than $1000? Seriously, it’s about $500 off the price of a Trek 520 or a Surly Long Haul Trucker.
We don’t know how they do it.

Velo Orange Pass Hunter

Velo Orange PassHunter Disc

You might be a rider who likes the idea of a steel touring bike.
You read Bicycle Quarterly and understand the appeal of wide road tires, generator lights and Brooks saddles. 400 kilometer long brevets with the Seattle Randonneuring club may be in your future, or you may just want a nice bike for commuting.
There are a few bike companies out there who understand what you want. Raleigh makes the Tamland and Surly has the Long Haul Trucker, but you may want something a little more refined. It looks to you like a new Rivendell might be the way to go, if not for a few quirks about their design philosophy (old-fashioned cantilever brakes, quill-style handlebar stems).

Velo Orange Dajia handlebar

Internal brake routing

Velo Orange has it all figured out. This bike takes disc brakes (with internal hose routing) and uses modern handlebar stems and headsets. The Pass Hunter frameset gives you the all-day comfort of the Tamland and comes in the versatile frame-only option like a Surly, without the goofy Rivendell quirks. The Pass Hunter is made from springy double-butted cromoly tubing. The fork has a fair amount of rake (so it will steer well with bags and other gear on the front end) and has a beautiful double-plate crown.
Buy the Pass Hunter as a frameset for $619 or have us build it up with your favorite parts (the pictured bike came out around $2800).

Fuji Ace 24 & 650

Fuji Ace 24

This is a rare bike.

A real road bike for kids. In stock.

As light and well-equipped as a starter racing bike for adults, the Ace 24 is perfect for the little speed demon in your family. It doesn’t come with Shimano STI levers, opting for simpler (and less expensive) handlebar-mounted toggle switches. What the bike does have is 14 speeds, quality wheels and brakes and cool styling.

The Ace 24 will work pretty well for most kids in the 8 to 12 year age range. With 24″ wheel, reduced length cranks, a narrow handlebar, and small-size brake levers, this bike will fit just right.

Fuji Ace 650

if we need to go a little bit bigger, Fuji does the Ace 650 for kids and adults in the 4’9″ to 5′ tall range.

These bikes are exceptionally hard to get our hands on, so if you want one, don’t hesitate to come in and grab it.

SE Racing Big Ripper

Big Ripper 29

Here’s a chance to relive your youth.

Remember the early ’80′s? BMX was all the rage. As a teen or pre-teen, all you ever wanted was an awesome BMX bike. SE Racing’s PK Ripper and Quadangle BMX bikes had to be the most awesome.

The PK Ripper was probably the first BMX bike made out of aluminum, and man was it light. Perry Kramer rode it, and you wanted to be like Perry Kramer.

Maybe your parents scoffed back in the early ’80′s when you said you wanted a PK Ripper. Maybe you had a Quadangle, but it got stolen that first time you rode it to your job at Domino’s pizza. Whatever your circumstance, here’s your chance for a do-over.

The Big Ripper. BMX for big kids.

SE Racing Quadangle and OM Flyer 26″

Quadangle 26

Don’t these bikes just make you smile?

Part of SE Racing’s retro series of bikes, these are the two mid-sized nostalgia sleds.

The Quadangle started out as the ST-1 racing bike, and man was it cool. In the early 80′s, every kid who raced BMX wanted a Quadangle (I know I did). The bike was designed for star BMX racer Stu Thompson, and while Stu now works as a video producer and is in his 50′s, you still want to be like him…

The OM Flyer 26″

The OM Flyer (in honor of “Old Man” Scott Breithaupt), is another 26″ wheeled BMX bike for big kids (we also have SE’s So Cal Flyer and Creature models, both available with 24″ wheels). Enjoy riding the snappy cromoly frame and enjoy keeping your back and joints healthy by riding an adult-sized bike.

When would you ride a bike like these? Well, they’re pretty awesome for just cruising around. Use ’em to run downtown, do a few errands, maybe ride around the park (or the Poulsbo pump track) with your kids, or just go out and relive your youth for an hour or so. Just like when you were 12, grab your bike anytime you want to have some fun.

Surly Troll

Surly Troll

I bet you’re a little confused by this bike. That’s all right. We’ll explain.

So let’s say you had an old mountain bike from 1993 that you used for commuting. Your old bike had been converted to road use with slick tires and one of those Scott wrap-around handlebars. That old bike had fenders, a rack and a bunch of random accessories duct taped to it.

You loved that old bike. But then it got stolen.

Surly to the rescue! The Troll is just like your versatile old mountain bike, only better.

There’s all kinds of attachment points for racks, fenders, trailers and other accessories. You can run disc brakes or rim brakes. It has horizontal dropouts, so you can ride it as a single-speed if you want. The Troll is available as a complete bike (If the thieves got every bit of your old bike) or as a frameset (so you can use some of the random bike parts left in your garage). The frame geometry is suspension-corrected so we can install a Rockshox for smoother off-road adventure. Either 26″ or 27.5″ wheels will work on the Troll.

Jones Loop handlebar

Troll warts? Just mounts for all kinds of stuff

Trailer, rack and fender eyelets

Why not buy a Surly Ogre? Well, like we said, all of those old bike parts in your garage including the mountain of 26″ tires will fit on the Troll. The smaller wheels also means that the bike handles a bit quicker, fits smaller riders better, and is slightly sturdier under heavy loads.

Dahon Vitesse D8

Dahon Vitesse D8

If you only have 2 square feet available for bike parking we have a bike for you.
The Dahon Vitesse stows easily in a spare closet, on your boat, in the cargo area of an airplane, under a bench in your R.V., in the seat next to you on the bus, or under the kitchen table in your efficiency apartment.
Unfold the bike and it’s a kick to ride. Fun, reasonably fast and pretty stable with its not-so-tiny 20″ wheels.
Speaking of tiny and not-so-tiny, all Dahon folding bikes adjust to comfortably fit an astounding range of people sizes. If you are between 4’8″ and 6’2″ tall you will be comfortable riding this bike.

All folded up

Now, this Dahon isn’t the top of the line and it’s not the bottom. It’s a solid and versatile bike for less than $700.
If you would like something fancier (or something more basic) Dahon has a wide range of folding bikes available, and we can have your favorite all set up for you in just a few days.

Kona Wo

Kona Wo

Fat bikes are fun.
Practical, for a lot of our local trails, they’re not.
What the heck, practical isn’t everything. Nobody said that you needed four-wheel drive, 30″ of ground clearance and internet service in your car either. You still have fun driving to the grocery store in your Hummer H2.

Yeah but the thing is, you want to play around on the trails or try to cruise the beaches at low tide, but otherwise aren’t really sure how much you’d ride a fat bike. It is the Pacific Northwest after all. We’re not really known for snowy or sandy trails.

big tires

We get it.

That’s why we have the Wo and the Wozo from the good folks at Kona bicycles. The frames are made out of aluminum, so they’re light and rust resistant. The Wozo has really fat 6″ wide tires that roll over the mushiest surfaces easily. The bike is outfitted with nice lightweight gear and comes in around $2500. The Wo has 5″ wide tires for good floatation across soft trails, and the bike is less than $1600, so you can try out those weird cycling adventures that you had in mind without dropping a lot of cash.

Surly Ogre

Surly Ogre

Surly calls the Ogre a touring bike.
One look (and a little imagination) will tell you that a Surly ogre can be anything that you want it to be.
The Ogre’s frame and fork is sprinkled with what looks like warts but in fact are attachment points for a multitude of accessories. All sorts of racks, cargo and bottle cages and trailers will attach to the Ogre frame.
If you feel like messing with different types of drivetrains, the Ogre will adapt. A Rohloff hub or Shimano Nexus shifting system? No problem. Single-speed or derailleur, the Ogre won’t care which you choose.

Jones Loop handlebar

Trailer, rack and fender eyelets

Ogre warts? Just mounts for all kinds of stuff

Off-road riding with 29 x 2.3″ tires will be fun on the Ogre. The frame is suspension-corrected so you can switch out the rigid fork for one with more bounce. On the pavement, the Ogre’s Jones Loop handlebar will give you a handfull of comfortable positions and plenty of control.
So check out the Ogre if you want to haul a bunch of random stuff. Grab an Ogre and plan a dirt-road tour of western Canada. Get an Ogre for your daily commute and weekends off road. Whatever you can imagine.
They should have named this bike the chameleon it’s so adaptable…

Surly Long Haul Trucker

Surly Long Haul Trucker

Planning a tour that will take you off of the beaten path?
The Long Haul Trucker from Surly might be the bike for you.
Surly makes their loaded touring bikes out of tough steel tubing and finishes them with thick paint that will handle weird adventures and lots of abuse.
The Trucker has mounts for front and rear racks, fenders, and 3 bottle cages. Available as bare frames, Surly’s are easy to customize (they come with road-bike style drop bars, our pictured bikes are customized with upright bars for a long adventure across Russia).

26″- wheeled version

Are you really tall or really small? The Trucker comes in a frame size that will fit (and in 26″ or 700c wheel-size options).
Sure these bikes can be a little strange-looking (especially the tall versions with the small wheels), but sometimes you want something a little different, something a little less “corporate”, or something a bit more personal.

Available with disc or rim brakes.

Surly Krampus

Surly Krampus in “Moonlit Swamp Green”

Don’t call the Krampus fat. It’s just big-boned.

While we don’t keep a bunch of fat bikes (or “snow bikes”) in stock, we have a couple of fun options and can get you many of the best bikes available from Felt, Scott, Framed, Ritchey, SE Racing and Surly.

Surly, a Minnesota bike brand, has a number of fun bikes that are available as complete bikes or as framesets. Besides the new Krampus (which is built around 29″ x 3″ tires), they have the original Pugsley (with 26″ x 4″ wheels) and the Moonlander (with absolutely obese 5″ wide tires).

The trick with the fat tires is that they can be ridden with extremely low air pressure (5-20 psi). This low pressure provides amazing traction and gives you a snowshoe effect on soft surfaces. It’s possible to ride across soft sand, mud or snow on one of these bikes and not even leave a tire track! Places (and seasons) that once excluded bicycle fun now embrace fat bikes (even if their arms don’t quite reach all the way around).

Buy one of these bikes and you’ll spend all of your time testing the definitions of the words “adventure”, “ridable”, and “absurd”.

2012 “Classic” Retrotec

“Classic” Bike, built by Curtis Inglis of Retrotec

This bike is not old…. It’s Classic.

Curtis Inglis builds wonderful steel bikes in his Napa, California workshop. If you want a hand-crafted bike with custom touches, an Inglis should be at the top of your list. For curvy-tubed bicycle goodness, Curtis and his Retrotec label should be your only consideration.

Retrotec was founded by Robert Seals, the godfather of the modern multi-function bike tool (he invented the Cool Tool, patented in 1990). For his Retrotecs, Bob resurected the old Schwinn cantilever frame style. Curtis, who worked for Bob back in the 1990s, took over the Retrotec name in 2001 and expanded the number of available styles, and they’re all cool.

Note the Ritchey "Classic" stem

When going custom, why not put your name on it?

Inglis' fillet brazed construction is perfection

Wanting a modern “Classic” that would be at home within our museum collection, we asked Curtis to show us his best work. Fine fillet brazed joints, expertly curved tubing, and sparkly green custom paint make this a bike as impressive as anything on our walls.

XTR brakes with cooling fins on the brake pads, Ti bolts

Retrotec Triple model

The XTR group is museum worthy itself.

The parts show off classic design cues and modern materials. Shimano’s XTR group is the best available today, and looks great with the gold chain and cables. A green Brooks saddle was a natural choice, as were the Portland-made Chris King headset and bottom bracket. We had to use the Ritchey “Classic” seatpost and stem, as they inspired us to build this bike in the first place.

Paul with Curtis Inglis and the bike

Inglis' shop, with bikes in various stages of production

Bikes look very different without all of the paint...

A trip down to California for a friend’s wedding coincidently put Jaime and Paul in Curtis’s workshop during construction of the Classic Bike.

This bike isn’t just for show. It’s for sale. Modern mountain bike performance and Classic style for $5499.

Kidz Tandem

Our good friends at Brown Cycles in Grand Junction, Colorado came up with these. The tandem with a twist. Big rider in back, small rider in front.

Kidz Tandem Yellow

These tandems can be configured in a bunch of different ways. The front rider can be your six-year-old. Dog can be your co-pilot with the optional dog basket. With an optional front-mount baby seat, your toddler can do the navigating. Toddler in baby seat behind you, Fido in front. Recumbent adult up front, standard position in back. Or you can leave the kids at home, and ride the tandem by yourself, and use the front area for a large cargo basket.

Pick out the configuration that best suits your needs. If we don’t have it, Brown’s can get it to us in just a few days.

Unicycles

Torker Unistar DX

Torker Unistar LX

If you ever feel like running away and joining the circus, you had better be prepared. Learn to ride a unicycle! It’s fun. It’s (relatively) easy. A lot of the junior high schools in the area have unicycling as part of their gym program. Once you learn how, you could ride a unicycle in the Chilly Hilly next year! Heck, you could join dozens of unicycle riders in the Kingston or Bainbridge Island July Fourth parades.

Or you could learn how to juggle.

We stock basic Torker brand unicycles, and can order more deluxe versions with just a couple of days lead time. We keep replacement unicycle pedals, saddles, bearings and tires in stock all of the time.

We also seem to be missing an “add to shopping cart” button.
These omissions are purposeful.
We like bikes. We like you. We want you to ride a bicycle that works well, fits you correctly, and is appropriate for the kinds of riding that you like to do.
We can’t make all of this happen through a website.
If you want a new bike, come in to Classic Cycle. Talk to us. Touch the bicycles. You can ride around Winslow, and see what the different models have to offer.
Come in to the shop, and Gavin will make some adjustments to the bike to make it fit just right (and tell you about the time he won that race in Sicily while he’s at it).
Sit at our bar and watch bike racing on the television or experience a bit of our little museum.

Bike Appraisals

Have an old bike that you’d like to get appraised?

We can help, but we have a few guidelines that we’d like you to understand.

First, we have no idea what your bike is worth without seeing it. We’re just not that smart. Don’t call us and try to describe it over the phone. Serial numbers do not help. Instead, you can send us an email with some pictures attached or bring your bike in to the store.

Take a photo from the “drive side” in front of a neutral background

To make the appraisal more accurate, prepare the bike and take photos like you would if you were going to sell it. Clean the bike, remove any broken or rough-looking accessories and put some air in the tires.
Take pictures straight on in front of a blank background, and take close-up photos of areas that may generate interest (or confusion).

There is no “Blue Book” value for bicycles. Bikes are simply worth what someone else is willing to pay for them. Bicycle values tend to be highest when the weather is warm, in places where it’s pleasant to ride, and wherever there are a lot of people who like bikes.

Badges or labels on the tubes help with identification

Close-ups of the parts tell a lot about your bike

You know more about your bike than we do. If you just bought a bike for $50, you have just established the value of the bicycle (and you are not likely to be able to sell it for $2000 to somebody else). You know when you bought it, so you have a good idea of the age, and you know if it was a high-end racing model or a basic bike from Walmart.

Rarity rarely helps determine value. If you have a one-of-a-kind bicycle, it may mean that no one has ever heard of it and/or nobody is looking for one.

Popularity is no indicator either. Bikes that were sold in large numbers could fall into one of two camps. You could have a bike that will never sell (Schwinn Varsity) because there are still thousands of them out there, or you could have a bike that will cause a bidding war (Bridgestone MB-1) because people rode them into the ground and they want another one.

If what you’re really after is to get rid of an old bike, keep us in mind. While we don’t buy bikes outright, we’ll likely take your old bike as a trade-in for something new….
